She went on to add: "He won a Logie when he was a young actor. I got to hold it once :) (I could have held it lots of times, but it was on the highest shelf of the bookcase and I felt silly asking him to take it down :))."

I am so sad, really devastated to lose my mate.

A fourth tweet read: "He was funny and kind and so loving. And he was too young to go. And I'm really, really sad today. In conclusion, #[bleep]cancer."

He passed away on January 2.

Darius played Scott for eight months and appeared in 50 episodes before he was recast when the show moved from Channel 7 to Network Ten, and Jason Donovan took over the role.

Former Neighbours co-star David Clencie, who played Danny Ramsay, told the Herald Sun:

"I am so sad, really devastated to lose my mate.

"We had this incredible bond. We were mates to the very end."

Darius also starred in Home and Away, A Country Practice, and The Sullivans.

He won a Logie for his performance in Australian mini-series All The Rivers Run.

He returned to Neighbours in 2014 as criminal Marty Kranic, who had a dodgy connection to Darius's former on-screen brother, Paul Robinson, and was one of the suspects in a hit and run.
